Made my IMDb account just to review this

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2013)

What a movie! I had already planned to see it, and after seeing the largely favorable reviews from IMDb I was very excited to get to watch it. Definitely the best movie I have seen so far this summer, and probably the best one I've seen in 2013. (I know Django Unchained came out in 2012, but I saw it a second time in theaters in 2013.) Regardless, fantastic movie. I felt just the introduction to the movie with the battle with Kaiju off the Alaskan Coast was movie-ending battle good, and that was just the beginning! The movie's plot was good but not great, but really I wasn't there to see amazing plot. Taking it for a straight action movie this was possibly the best one I've seen. Enough Kaiju battles to keep me completely interested through the entire movie, and the bright spots of the plot were able to take up time in between Kaiju attacks. Not once did I feel bored or that the movie was dragging. Del Toro outdid himself with this one. 9 out 10, and only because I have to leave a little bit of headroom for the best of the best. With time maybe it will earn that last star. Go see this movie!
